Amen….

hi Norman, was wondering what do you mean by " In Christianity, it seems like none of the things we do on earth matter that much."?

I feel so sad for youlast night I was listening to the cattle yards they were loading up the cattle they were yelling and screaming and honking and made me cry sad how this universe and how people live in for animals and I heard today that people can eating so much beef it's going to be like a delicacy

Jesus said call no one on earth YOUR father. Then he proceeded to use the same word when he said "that is why a man leaves his FATHER and mother" and later when he says you must "hate your FATHER and mother". So does Jesus contradict himself? If so, he's not much of a Messiah or Son of God, is he! I did not take on the title of YOUR Father. People do not address me as MY Father or THEIR Father. They just call me "Father". The Bible was not written yesterday. It was not written in English, and it was not written by fundamentalists.

@@fr.williamnicholas955 In no way was my intention malicious. I'm a jew coming to faith in the messiah. I was asking legitimately for knowledge on different denominations of christianity. Thank you for your kind response.

@@anthonyderosa7730 If he is making a video on who is the modern day Pharisee, ask yourself why would he do this? So many books behind him. We only need the Bible

I will not call some one Father God is my Father and on earth i have one Father

And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals. Judges 17, 10 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 1 Corinthians 4, 15 Dr. Scott Hahn tells us that in the Old Testament the priesthood can be divided into two periods: the patriarchal and the Levitical. The patriarchal period is covered in the Book of Genesis while the Levitical period begins in Exodus. These two periods differ significantly. "Patriarchal religion was firmly based on the natural family order, most especially the authority handed down from the father to the son - ideally the firstborn - often in the form of the 'blessing'." (See Genesis 27.) There is no separate priestly institution or caste as there is from the time of Moses, as well as no temple and prescribed sacrifice. "The patriarchs themselves build altars and present offerings at places and at times of their own choosing (See Gen 4:3-4; 8:20-21; 12:7-8). Fathers are empowered as priests by nature." Dr. Hahn continues: "There are vestments associated with the office. When Rebekah took the garments of Esau, her firstborn, and gave them to Jacob, she was symbolically transferring the priestly office (Gen 27:15). We see the same priestly significance, a generation later, in the 'long robe' Jacob gave to his son Joseph" (See Gen 37:3-4). Thus, fatherhood is the original basis for the priesthood. "The very meaning of priesthood goes back to the father of the family - his representative role, spiritual authority, and religious service... priesthood belonged to fathers and their 'blessed' sons." On the other hand, the Levitical priesthood "became a hereditary office reserved to the cultural elite. And the home was no longer the primary place of priesthood and sacrifice." (Signs of Life: 40 Catholic Customs and Their Biblical Roots: Doubleday, 2009). Still, when a Levitical priest comes knocking at Micah's door, he pleads, "Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest" (Jdgs. 17:10). Thus, when Paul says, "I became your father through the gospel," he is referring to himself as being a priest. The community of believers in Corinth is his sons and daughters and heirs to the kingdom of heaven. Not unlike Paul, his successors in the Catholic Church - through the Sacrament of Holy Orders - are fathers and priests by their role of representing Christ, their spiritual authority, and religious service: the preaching of the gospel and ministration of the sacraments (notably the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist) for the family in the house of God which is the Church.

No one addresses their priest as "MY Father." They just call him "Father"

Got to stand up and be counted

To obey is better than sacrifice. King David says he Loves the Law of G-d.

Actually no. He condemned the empty manner in which they performed them. He never condemned anything of His Jewish heritage.

Beleive means obey anyways

As it should be. Actually, the Holy Spirit brings people to Christ. We are just its instruments.
